Prediction Model for Chronic Intracranial Arterial Occlusion With Radiomic Features

Plain-language summary

Chronic intracranial arterial occlusion is associated with a "bidirectional stroke risk," with a significantly increased risk of both ischemic stroke and cerebral hemorrhage. Currently, Western CTAP products, in combination with clinical expertise, offer some predictive value for assessing the risk of ischemic events by evaluating compensatory pathways and overall perfusion in chronic intracranial arterial occlusion. However, there is limited support for assessing the risk of hemorrhagic events. Our proposed project aims to address a significant scientific challenge: the precise assessment of long-term stroke risk in asymptomatic patients with chronic intracranial arterial occlusion using a machine learning-based approach. The rapidly advancing field of machine learning provides a rich set of solutions for tackling this problem. In this project, we intend to develop a deep learning-based segmentation model for key brain regions using multimodal CT scans. Subsequently, we will automate the extraction of radiomic features and CT perfusion parameters, followed by the application of machine learning techniques to construct a stroke risk prediction model tailored for patients with chronic intracranial arterial occlusion.
